             Summary: create a standard way of getting the plugin configuration directory
                 Key: TS-2218
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2218
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration, Plugins
            Reporter: Bryan Call


Currently some plugins use TSPluginDirGet() (/usr/local/libexec/trafficserver) and some have hard coded paths for getting the directory where the config files are set.

I propose using sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/ (sysconfdir is defined in config.layout and is /usr/local/etc by default) as the default base directory for the plugin configuration.  Under this directory people will have their config file or a sub directory if there are a lot of config files for a plugin (e.g. sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/regex_remap/)

There will be an API to get the plugin config directory called TSPluginConfigDir() and this will by default pass back sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/.  All plugins will use this API to get the configuration directory.

There will also be a records.config option to override the default plugin config directory.  This option will be called proxy.config.plugin.plugin_config_dir.  This option will be set to NULL by default and the API will assume sysconfdir/trafficsever/plugins by default.
